- Hollywood constantly insists that it’s not diverse enough.

Will Smith warns of “a systematic bias that needs to be addressed.”
John Stossel says " they never talk about: diversity of thought.”
Hollywood movies are full of anti-capitalist themes.
In Avatar, GREEDY miners will destroy a planet for valuable ore.
In Amazon’s new Jack Ryan, Socialism is not to blame for Venezuela’s problems. Venezuela’s dictator is an anti-leftist nationalist. The “good” Venezuelan politician is a “social justice” advocate.
Stossel points out that “Hollywood’s documentaries also celebrate the left.”
RBG, for example, puts Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg on a pedestal.
“Justice Ginsberg is impressive. But so is Justice Thomas. Would Hollywood ever praise him?” asks Stossel.
Hollywood’s condescension toward anyone not on the left frustrates the few actors who lean right. Most fear saying anything because they’d lose work. But actor Kevin Sorbo talks about it.
“All of a sudden … less and less calls. My agent said we'd better part ways and I went, ‘wow, I made a lot of money for these guys,” recalls Sorbo.
“Did you ask him, why do we have to part ways?” asks Stossel.
“I knew why. They told me why. They were pretty straight forward about it,” responds Sorbo.
Kevin Sorbo was even banned from a comic-book convention, East Coast Comicon.
He says, “[Hollywood has] the most anti-tolerant people and hateful people that we have right now.”
Sorbo continues, “Every movie I’ve seen now, every TV show I seem to see, doesn't matter what it is, there's always some point, someplace, where they'll … degrade anybody who's conservative or Republican.”
His response was to produce his own films, like God’s Not Dead, a Christian film that cost two million dollars but returned 140 million.
Hollywood is ABSURDLY biased. Maybe market competition will bring some balance.”
Will Smith touts systematic sexism, but he isn’t negotiating a pay cut and offering to be co-star by giving up the spotlight to an actress.
Virtue signalling is free and it gives leftists a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Mate, i think he's just playing the game and trying to survive. Wich a lot of people are doing and wich most people would do if they were in his place
@@jellybeans0493 then they deserve everything to be their downfall. A house of cards they have made.
I think it's one thing to quietly playing the game for survival and another to sit down in front of a camera and publicly virtue signalling by praising something that he's not willing to do.
I remember that one song, sung by will smith, "WHITE MAN GOING TO KEEP YOU DOWN" to his son,,,, just sick.
"Diversity of thought" - doesn't mean much to people who don't actually think.
truth, the only thought they have in their heads is money, sex, and drugs.
@@Lobselvith So you're saying that you're against money and sex? Because most everyone I know left or right on the political scale seems to like those things. Hell, I like them too. It beats being broke and only masturbating.
Quote of the year 😂
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" A great hero of WW2 once said.
@madcheeseknight and a fascist racist misogynist white supremacist nazi... this is the annoying cliche labeling they do to everyone that doesn't think exactly like them... that got Donald Trump in the White House. Had they not labeled everyone that doesn't think like them these things, maybe just maybe people would have listened when they said there was a nazi running for president, people didn't because you know... if everyone is all these things, then no one is
Welcome to Hollywood:
"Land of the Hypocrites."
Remember when producers shoved their male parts into women? #MeToo.
Hypowood should be the new name
@@Rams495 Or fantasy mongering for obscene wealth levels.
@@thereaction18, and now producers are shoving women into their male parts - ouch. How do they do that without wrecking their male parts? It's just a physical impossibility. Much better to shove their male parts into women...And hey, women in Hollywood weren't forced onto the casting couches, they just traded sex for a movie part that they valued more than their morality. It was their choice. #BooHoo.
@@mareesteer7045 Must be really tough for fat women.
Manufactured diversity requires discrimination.
Very well said, Tony. I'll have to remember that... It's so succinct and powerful.
To the elite socialists the world is not enough...
Wow well said
Also requires enforcing, policing, and punishment - Just like a Communist Socialist state.

I seriously get confused when they talk down capitalism. Yet want to sell us movie tickets, ect.
That's not even the worst part, they sell out on any morals or values in their films and PR so as to appease to big markets like China, all while preaching to you in their holier than thou platforms and pedestals.
You forgot the plastic action figures.
Capitalism is not simply getting goods to market. It is about the right of the market to determine value. Capitolism is also that the means of production are privately owned. It is founded on the idea that anyone with ingenuity and resources can prosper from their own efforts and keep the fruits of their labour. By contrast what is being practiced in the world today is a form of cannibalism. Hollywood is a monopoly that absorbs or eliminates competition. It dictates attitudes and opinion much like a religion. It creates conformity and manufactures consent. Hollywood is religion and big government rolled into one. In light of these facts there should be no confusion when they preach against free market and free thought. Awakened humans make terrible consumers.
That (and the fact I'm poor) is why I only buy pirates of Avengers n stuff 😅
Pro capitalism movies won't be distributed in China for some strange reason...
There's nothing more ironic than multi-million (or billion) dollar capitalist companies bashing on capitalism to make truckloads of money.
Not ironic. Just plain evil
Selling idiocy to idiots is very profitable.
You know what?? I think they think we'rE aLL IDIOTS!!

I'm so old I remember when Jack Ryan was a conservative PhD expert on Soviet Russia 🙄
interestingly, in that 1980s tom clancy character, he suffers early in life from very modern problem: companies induced opioid epidemic. " ..

Kevin Sorbo: Hercules inside and outside of TV. What a guy.
Except Hercules was a pagan demi-god... bit of cognitive dissonance there.
it takes a real alpha male to stand up against the powerful evil that blackballs you from getting jobs. sorbo is that alpha.
Who knew Kevin Sorbo was such a pussy.
@@c.a.t.732 it was just a TV show
Ya, that really pissed me off that first episode of Jack Ryan distorting the truth about Venezuela and the making an SJW the hero.
*Tom Clancy is rolling in his grave!* :(
you don't even have to go to the extreme venezuelan example
i live in an european socialist country; we have HUGE taxes (eg: sale stax rate: 23%) and still we've been bankrupted 3 times in the last 40 yrs, and we're on the verge of our 4th bankruptcy (+125% GDP national debt)
I noticed that too & thought what the 'eff!
no no no, man in the igh castle, now this, maybe I'll cancel my subscription.
Excellent point; Clancy was an ardent foe of socialism.
@@BTCAsia ... Yep, that's Leftists for you, perverting everything for their ideology and brainwashing the public who are ignorant of Clancy's books and work.
I worked with Kevin back on Hercules. Recently I have seen him voice out much more. Its good to see someone standing up to the liberals in Hollywood.
Feeling nostalgic about times when not everyone was crazy.
Take solace in knowing birth rates are increasing in Red states and decreasing in Blue states...
i would love to see a hollywood completely separated, ran by conservatives with as much money
I wonder wich one most people would choose, given that they are tired and extremely angry of hollyweird's agenda being shoved down our throats in almost every single movie
RIGHT. I WANT OUT OF THIS CRAZY CULTURE!
When was it? Cavemen times?
I stopped looking to Hollywood for entertainment years ago. Greed, power, profit and loose morals is all they peddle.
And they are pedophiles
Trump has known ties to pedophiles and said Epstein was a very good guy.
You forgot the most obvious trait: JUD
AISM
*God* bless Kevin Sorbo for staying true to himself and not pandering to the Hollywood hypocrites.
It was a human achievement. An AMERICAN human achievement.
We came in peace for all mankind, but our representatives were Americans. It was very nearly the Russians, as documents revealed decades later. Most people have no idea how close the USA came to losing the space race.
With some ex-Nazis helping out.
Scotland1908 applause!!
It was called the space race for a reason. WE beat THEM and if THEY had won, WE would never have heard the end of it. Wake up Hollyweird.
It was both an American achievement and a human achievement.
That’s exactly why I don’t go to the movies.
Same here , Hollyweird pedoville can go get blown for all I care.
I haven't gone the theaters since 1999. I refuse to give them my money to support their cause.
Good idea.I seldom go to the movies.I prefer not having my emotions yanked around by the Hollywood fantasy mongers.
.......the last movie i saw in a cinema was Hancock........
Same here my friend...Thank you..👍
John Stossel - you just won a new subscriber.
and Kevin Sorbo - you're my new hero!
We need more courageous men like you.
The Jack Ryan thing pissed me off. That and Krasinski praising the CIA kind of turned me off to finishing season 2.
The entire series is propaganda, from re-hashing 9/11 to glorifying women in hijabs and pardoning refugee crimes in France... you had to know it was gonna be shit after a few episodes
Yeah spooks are the heroes? Nah.
Sicario, amazing movie, that portrayed them realistically
Tom Clancy (conservative) was known for all his hard research to make things sound accurately portrait in his fictional books. He must be rolling in his grave over the liberties that left-wing Hollywood has done to portray political correctness. Like making Admiral Greer a Muslim. I am just surprised they haven't made Jack Ryan a cross dresser yet.
I was pissed when they started deliberately changing the reason Venezuela was screwed up. That was so deliberately wrong.
@@Rambleon444 Please dont give them ideas. They will make a Rainbow 6 movie, but the rainbow stands for gay pride now.
They called Black Panther "the most diverse movie ever". Let that sink in.
We don't need one movie with diversity. We need many movies with many ideas and let the market determine the best one. Not that hard.
@Wignat Fedposter That is literally their definition of the word.
I was gonna make a witty remark but I only now realized that no one in the movie has the exact same worldview. Black Panther is secretly ideologically diverse.
TheRisky9 it made money and everyone will follow this formula.
I wouldn't know, I never seen it.
This is why Mel Gibson directs his own movies.
And he does an amazing job.

I was in the middle of a Hercules watch through when Netflix pulled the show suddenly because his outspoken values. I'm still pissed
Josh Cc600 it’s on a free app called Tubi not sure if they have all the seasons but you might want to give it a try.
Josh Cc600 Keep in mind netflix is a part of the deconstructionist agenda... If you make an anti white stance like some of their authors, or attack Christianity with a "comedic revamping" blasphemy of Christ being a perverted non hetero then you get special promo and protection. If you make a show that even critically analyze the ko ran or other "non Xtian" religions in exacting reference and terms, YOU WILL NOT get an airing on netflux and WILL wind up having their rabid dogs attack the production. That they cut Sorbos show is the typical biased hypocrisy i expect from deviant corporations nowadays. Just like Hollyweird they are intent on western deconstruction and elimination.
Diversity isn't a strength when there's a pretentious lack of unity.
@N Stratton maybe in war when you're decoding ciphers in a different language.
I’ve said for a long time, that UNITY is our strength....not this diversity BS. Without unity, you can have no strength of any kind at all.
its an old wooden ship
Interesting how these movie makers thrive on capitalism.
@Vicky Ann Are you suggesting the ruling class will always get better benefits ?
The height of hypocrisy.

I wont give a penny to Hollywood, PERIOD 2 years and going strong
right on
Same here, my friend. I haven't gone to a movie in years. However, it's interesting to observe how they use emotions to supplement the thinly-veiled indoctrination.
I just hope you’ve been doing your research whenever you decide to watch a movie to make sure it’s not a Hollywood Production.
Good on ya, the last movie I saw in theaters was Captain America: Civil War, I highly regret that.

Well done to Kevin Sorbo, I grew up with Hercules and loved his show, he is a class actor, really disappointed he was so badly treated just for his views.
Don’t let facts get in the way of a good story... just rewrite history instead.
It's called shaping the narrative in your favor.
I loved Jack Ryan’s first season, but I couldn’t pass beyond the second episode of the second season, horrible propaganda and lies.
John Stossel is doing a great journalism by reporting on these topics. Thank You John!
you got me. picked at my screen for a minute until I scrolled down and realized that was your avatar.
I like Kevin Sorbo especially since he stands by his Christian and conservative beliefs. I would love to see him in more movies and shows.
I wonder if he'd work for scale?

we gotta pirate the shit out of hollywood! i know i do!
Quite a lot of what we Americans see on TV and in movies is mostly or completely done in Canada, anyway, though the money-grubbers in Hollywood still keep as tight a hold on the purse-strings as they can. China has destabilized that situation, however, with the result being that all too many films and TV series now visibly cater to Chinese sensibilities, with Chinese actors, producers, and "approval" of scripts. I'm surprised that Stossel didn't cover that aspect of today's entertainment industry.
I loved that show when I was a kid. Glad to see some of the celebs speak about this.

Unfortunately the box office receipts don't agree with you.
So where do these fools like James Cameron invest the millions they make from movies? Hypocrites
Personally, I would like to see the Hollywood fantasy mongers pick up the tab for free health care.
“James Cameron is now making another Avatar”
Now? He’s been saying he’s making another Avatar for the past 10 years
He created a new Terminator to retain the story rights, ownership. Tim Miller, the Dark Fate dir said openly he will NEVER work with JC again. 🚫
B-b-b-but its actually within 3 years of release now! Exciting, no?!
@@DavidLLambertmobile
Kate Winslet hated working with JC, but now that she is reaching that certain age, she is doing Avatar. Who knows what will happen, but given that JC is rapidly advancing in age, Tim Miller might not have the opportunity to do so anyway.
stupid movie...like black panther....made for morons
He's actually making 4 AVATAR movies at the same time and will release one every 3 years. Ya wanna spread the wealth around, lower ticket prices. Oh that's right, that would lower profits.
Solution: quit watching new movies.
Speak with your wallet folks, it’s the only language theses people understand.
I was appalled at the miss characterization of Venzuelan politics in jack ryan.

I couldn't get past the first season of Jack Ryan. That shit was awful.
Absolutely appalling! Venezuela- they deliberately put it ass backwards!
The "anti gun actors" that sign up for movies that glories the misuse of firearms makes me sick. Don't like guns, don't hold one in a movie.

Hollywood can stuff it. Tom Hanks,once my favorite actor, is now on my "do not watch" list along with the rest of the Trump/conservatism bashers. I no longer go to the movies,cancelled cable TV Liberalism must be a brain defect !
Their are still good scores.
Tom Cruise never pushes politics and keeps it from his movies..
He doesn't even push his religion in his movies..
Denzel Washington refuses to mention his politics and attacks reports who push for him to do so..
We still have mister Dirty Harry making movies.
Think about people like Star Wars Theory making their own miniseries. As technology and networking improves, we have a chance to make Hollywood obsolete. Already happening with cable news.
Yeaaa FASTER... FASTER.... FASTERRRRR not fast enough for me...
There are some amazing short movies on youtube...low budget and pretty good!
You act like the socialists/propagandists from Hollywood haven't already been moving over the streaming side.... Have you seen what the fuck is on Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu?
When Hollyweird starts getting scared of losing major $$$ is when they will band together with the best lawyers money can buy and shut down independent enterprises not a part of their union, and then lobby for laws to stop them from competing if they're not a member of their specific hardcore PC liberal union.
One problem: patents and copyrights

Sorbo is the reason why I idolized Hercules. And now the heroic qualities of that archetype shines through him
Years ago I saw Kevin at a con, he is one of the most entertaining guys I've seen at a convention. I've seen other celebrities get political at cons I will walk out, these people have good stories they have done some pretty interesting things. But for whatever reason, they decide it's better alienate a large portion of their audience. Being a Conservative Republican sci-fi fan(there are a lot of us out there) you learn to keep your mouth shut, and put up the all of the "tolerance" for our point of view.
There's a reason I stopped going to the Wizard Comic Con. They used to be about nerd culture. Now it's about mainstream culture disguised as nerd culture. Unfortunately, mainstream has infected the nerd culture, but they don't understand it. So all the characters are being rewritten. Not just turning boys into girls, but also their basic fundamentals of what made the characters so compelling are rewritten. Harley Quinn is no longer the terrifying representation of a twisted codependency gone terribly wrong. Oh, no. She has to be a "role model" now. I'm so sick of this idea that characters all have to be role models. Fictional characters can't be role models! They are fiction. They can only represent an idea.
@@TheRisky9 It's no longer counter culture, which was sci-fi's appeal way back when. I was into it when you got crap for enjoying this stuff. Today it's so mainstream, I have no interest in anything new. It's not fun anymore, at cons I walk around endlessly and hope I run into some old friends. Because I'm not buying anything, that's at a con with over 80,000 attendees. Then having the celebrities go on about politics, ugh. I got better places to spend money, I since discovered sports cars. They are a lot cheaper than sci-fi collecting. :)
@@diggingattycho7908 They still give us crap for liking this stuff because we don't like it the way they like it.
This is why indie press is gaining traction. Not only is is cheaper now to publish indie, but it's also the only way for some books to be published! "Jawbreakers: Lost Souls" was an indie comic that was published in the style of the old 90's comics when it was still counter culture. It sold tons. But you will never see it on a best comics list, because the creator is against this political infection.
@@TheRisky9 Your right, I didn't think of that. Disney Star Wars is proof of that crap. Like Nerdrotic said sci-fi is being run by the jocks(in reference to Star Trek). They still want to beat us up, or something much worse the cool kids who want to play nerd.
And are absolutely clueless.
I know of Jawbreakers, I'm not into comics. But I've been watching the indy scene, the guys in the Fandom Menace. Lead me to a lot of the guys who are doing indy comics. I like hearing what they have to say. It's real sad to see Marvel want to be a lifestyle brand. But these people did it to themselves, they only see the money. But without any passion behind it, where is the fun? Making money is fine, but if that's all your in the game for. I can think of far better paying jobs than anything sci-fi related.
This is why I no longer go to the movies or watch new shows.
God bless you Kevin Sorbo; you will get rewarded, If not in this lifetime then in the next, for standing up for what’s right and your beliefs...

Liberal diversity can be compared to what Henry Ford said about colors: Pick any color as long as it’s black.
Exactly why my chief source of entertainment is UA-cam.
RichieB yes but they’ve removed a lot of videos that are Christian conservative or what they deem to be wrong.
Maybe "BIAS" is too soft a word for Hollywood.
Brenden Frasier said the same thing about the film industry. remember him?
That explains why he disappeared.
Fortunately it has been making a resurgence in acting sphere lately.
@@VariantAEC and why his hair fell out
There is always a separation of the good and the evil before the evil are burned. The separation of wheat and tares.
Thank you, John, Just took this "Jack Ryan" series off my watch list
@Frank Castle Thank you!
Only thing you gotta do is just 3 steps
Step1:turn off the TV
Step2:stop going to the movies
Step3: go enjoy life
What if the movies is how one 'enjoys life'? Shallow posts like these on the internet are useless and annoying. You do realize Hollywood movies aren't the only movies, right?
That’s why I watched the first episode of Jack Ryan this season and then quit the series.
You tell them Kevin Sorbo, the sane people applaud you.
Those idiotic movies are so irrational I don't get how people can still watch them without cringing.
College students with liberal professors, academia, work place from companies who support democrats and liberal ideologies. An audience was created first by hacking the culture; add to that, a lot of influential and wealthy people who push this.
Man does that bring back memories of watching Hercules on a Saturday afternoon as a kid with my dad.
Never heard about Sorbos, but Jim Caviezel is suffering the same, still we know it's worth it, he is one of my favorite actors.
Sorbo, not Sorbos
It's a real disgrace. Cavieziel is such a talented and soft spoken individual. Goes to show you the crap Hollywood has become. I swear if I see another trailer for a Mark Ruffalo socially conscious film I'm gonna drop. Is this guy for real? Overrated little punk. Hate that guy.
So now I know why one of my favorite shows from when I was a kid just got yanked off the air and I never saw the actor again.
When's the movie about the evil climate change deniers all being executed for their thought crime coming out? It won't be long now.
The irony: all these producers are some of the biggest capitalists there are making movies bashing capitalism for profit.
And "professional" athletes. Apparently some of the wealthiest people in society are fundamentally oppressed. 🥴🤪
The projection and hypocrisy is strong with them.
This is why I didn’t stay in Hollywood. My kind wasn’t welcome.
You were never there to begin with. 😂
Ojo Rojo I sure was. And left in a hurry. Worked in a makeup effects shop in North Hollywood and it was awful. If you’re not a raging liberal, you will be run out.
There is nothing so hard as poverty, and yet there is nothing society condemns with such severity as the pursuit of wealth.
Society doesn't condemn it. Rich people with no self awareness condemn it.
Ohhhhh but the men are paid more! Boo HOO. Sounds like you just need a better agent to sell your worth.
They don't hate the pursuit of wealth, they hate greed. And honestly the difference is pretty easy to spot. Think of rich individuals like Jeff Bezos vs Elon Musk. Musk spends his money to benefit humanity with new technologies , and Jeff Bezos uses his wealth to kill small businesses so his own can thrive without competition. It's all about greed, and as a society, there's nothing wrong with demonizing it.
@@referencestudioproductions6258 But there is something clearly wrong with pushing Socialism in it's place. Resources are finite and if you took all the billionaire's wealth in America, it still couldn't pay for the cost of socializing Health Care and School. Capitalism built American and made it the destination of choice for people all over the world. Taking from the rich to give to the poor who refuse to work and earn anything for themselves assures the destruction of one of the greatest countries ever built. Take advantage of capitalism and earn your own fortune.
@@referencestudioproductions6258 Until you look at the sheer number of buisnesses that are able to exist at all thanks to amazon. Small companies can now bring a product to market without having to try to hook some deal with a target or walmart. The e-reader movement made in large part due to kindle has allowed self publishing to be a viable route for many books. Hell there are now people who make their living playing games online for people to watch, made possible by twitch. Now sure amazon didn't directly start twitch or kindle, but they have enabled it to grow. I'm willing to let large department stores die if it means that smaller producers can find markets for their goods.
But sure, complain that Elon Musk hasn't had an original idea that he's proposed like, ever. And all the elon fan boys will come out and defend him.
Really just reinforced my idea to avoid the cesspools of fandom cancer and Hollywood garbage that are now conventions and theaters. Thanks, journalism!

Omg I've actually just seen that episode of Jack Ryan yesterday and i thought of liberals.
Edit: this is also kinda sad cuz Tom Clancy didn't plan for that
And after the first season kept fake politics out of it.
This is why I stopped watching their movies for the last 20 years.
JUST ABOUT WHEN THEY STOPPED BEING GOOD. I ALSO STOPPED GOING 20 YEARS AGO.
@@melissanative1799 (Caps!)
Great to see someone from mainstream media just presenting a different viewpoint without criticizing that viewpoint. I’m mixed race, brought up Catholic, studied other religions but am Atheist. I am a father of two daughters, and helped raise 3 other step daughters for a time. I’ve experienced and witnessed many type of struggles (racism, bullying, religious bias, extreme sexism), so understand where folks in Hollywood get their viewpoints. But it can’t be at the expense of becoming the bully!
The more the left pushes their BS, the farther right I go!! And DAMN PROUD of it!!!! Hollywood has completely lost my interest, unless it's actors like Kevin Sorbo and Jon Voight.

"The passion of the christ is America's highest grossing r rated film ever" I'm gonna guess he made this video before joker
I had the same thought. Worldwide, The Passion of the Christ is number 6, but domestically, it's still number 1, and Joker is actually pretty far back. Domestic gross (which Hollywood is ostensibly making movies for) speaks much more strongly to the interests of the American audience, which clearly has an appetite for Christian films, and I think clarifying that would have further strengthened Stossel's point.
They may be the higest grossing, but I don't think they're deserving of "The Best" in my eyes. To me, the best "R Rated" film ever made was Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch".
